un: unlikely friend

[ Stealing a second pendant wasn’t easy, exactly, but not was it particularly difficult. As shrewd as merchants were, they were simultaneously arrogant when they thought they were going in for the kill - so using Kahl as a distraction (deliberately looking both well meaning and slow with too much coin weighing him down) made it easy to slip the device away and make his own exit long before the man noticed. He and Kahl met up again in a dank little corner, dark and damp, and crouched down over it as they changed the username and prepared their post.

They needed to get the word out - and quickly - but doing so as themselves would only paint a target on their back. So. Burner device, pretend to be a native from the city, get the word out, then ditch the device as soon as they were done.

Time to go. ]

To our foreign guests:

You’ve been promised to Rakkathu as bodies for his horde. Our King plays your host but has already cut a deal - your lives for ours. Or at least some of them.

A dozen plus a tax - this is what he has been promised.

My conscience won’t abide for it. You’ve done nothing but help where and when we’ve asked, only to get this in return. Don’t let him sacrifice you. Murder won’t buy us freedom, whatever our masters believe.

Please. If you’re anywhere near as strong as I think you are: help free us from him once and for all.

A face to face meeting would be wise.

It is hard to tell who is listening, here.

But you are all spread apart and I could not reach all of you on foot.

Yeah... security is kind of a thing, huh? I wish we had some hacker friends. Or maybe we do. I've actually never asked.

But, I guess thanks for sticking your neck out for us if this is legit? I'm really trying hard to go home to my family. It's kind of hard to do that when some guy is planning on sacrificing you to the main villain.

[ He had known better than to expect anything other than suspicion, let alone a thank you. He feels it like a knot untying in his chest - the idea that at least someone is listening. ]

I hope you return whole and healthy to them soon.

Thank you! I totally support your people no matter what happens by the way. You have nothing to worry about, I swear.

Oh! I guess I should ask how we can verify this! Like is there some cool secret messages you can dump on the internet? It worked for Captain America and Black Widow. :) You'd be shocked by how many bad guys email their evil plans to the other bad guys.
